Answer to Question 1

2

Rationale: To demonstrate respect, compassion, and understanding, health care providers should greet Hispanic-American clients with a handshake. On establishing rapport, providers may further demonstrate approval and respect through touch, smiling, and affirmative nods of the head. Given the diversity of dialects and the nuances of language, culturally congruent use of humor is difficult to accomplish and therefore should be avoided.

Answer to Question 2

1

Rationale: Nitroglycerin tablets are usually prescribed one every 5 minutes PRN for chest pain, up to a total dose of three tablets. The nurse should administer the second tablet. The client with known angina pectoris should have low-flow oxygen at a rate of 1 to 3 L/min via nasal cannula. A 12-lead ECG would be done if prescribed by standing protocol or by individual physician prescription.
